When is using a Bute-less (BL) or Devil’s Claw herbal therapy an appropriate choice for my horse?
Many horse owners perceive that herbal therapies are a safer medication choice for their horses than medicines such as phenylbutazone (Bute.) However, herbs contain a variety of drugs that do alter the function of the horse’s body, and they must be used carefully under the supervision of a veterinarian. Always tell your veterinarian what herbal supplements your horse receives.
